Very annoying problem...I first had a H67 board with HD 2000 and game didn't work and now I tried runing it with the Intel HD 3000 chip and it doesn't work either (same exact problem), I get to the menu and no animation, problems with the menu itself, in short, you can't play the game. I also tried running it through Lucid as the dedicated graphics card runs the game no problem, I get a DDRAW.dll error 80004005. Only way to play the game is connection the monitor to the dedicated graphics card...VERY annoying. I looked this problem on google and found out people who have Intel HD graphics on their laptops got it to work by setting the power settings in the IGP control panel to "High Performance" but that option obviously does not exist on the desktop machines. It's very ironic that it does work on undergraded IGP on laptops and not on the IGP HD2000/3000.

Intel appreciates your feedback on this matter. Thank you for taking the time to communicate this issue to us.

If your games are not playing at all, see if you can adjust game settings, lower screen resolution or even changing some 3D settings within Intel Graphics Control panel. Also, try checking some game troubleshooting information available at:

I knew many people will find this thread. As of now, I have the latest intel display driver for my hd 3000 and game still can't be played. Very annoyed considering the fix is probably so simple for an Intel coder to do.

I have to agree that this problem is intel based, and that this needs to be fixed. We are not the first ones with this problem, and I'm sure it wouldn't take longer than an hour for an Intel programmer to fix this. Some people have got the game working by turning the power to high performance, so it is solvable, but this didn't solve it for me.

Please update your drivers intel, or at the very least reply to this thread and help us resolve it ourselves.
